I agree with Dr. Altic. “Diversity” and WOKE ideology have no place in medical education. Quality of education for competent students is a must for justification of a DO degree. Social diversity has no place in preparing students for providing healthcare to the public. As a founder and board member of Western University for 25 years and I always defended having high academic standards for professors and students. Nov. 16, 2022, at 9:42 am Reply
Diversity is one of the tetrad of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Diversity is easily accomplished if medical schools and residency programs choose to implement diversity measures. Equity, inclusion, and belonging are much more difficult to accomplish and measure. Also diversity encompasses much broader areas than race, e.g. sexual orientation, disability, neurodiversity, etc. Nov. 13, 2022, at 4:14 pm Reply
